(a) In the event that the Company shall consummate a “Liquidity Event” (hereinafter defined) and the “Initial Public Offering Price”, “Reverse Takeover Per Share Price” or “Per Share Consideration” (each a “Liquidity Event Per Share Price”) received in connection with any IPO, Reverse Takeover or Sale of Control (as those terms are defined below), shall be less than US Seven ($7.00) Dollars per share, then and in such event (i) the Per Share Purchase price of the Shares purchased by the Subscriber shall be reduced to eighty (80%) percent of such Liquidity Event Per Share Price, and (ii) the Company shall not later than ten (10) days following consummation of such Liquidity Event, issue to the Subscriber that number of additional Shares (the “Make Whole Shares”) as shall be determined by (A) dividing the Subscription Amount paid by the Subscriber by the Liquidity Event Per Share Price, less (B) the aggregate number of Shares purchased by the Subscriber and set forth on the omnibus signature page hereto.
2 |
(b) As used in this agreement, the term “Liquidity Event” shall mean any one of the following:
(i) the consummation of an initial public offering of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 that is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (an “IPO”); or

For the avoidance of doubt is the intention of the Company intended that the Per Share Purchase Price to be paid by the Subscriber and the number of Shares (including Make-Whole Shares) to be owned by the Subscriber in the Company, Pubco or the Acquiror, as applicable, shall be based on eighty (80%) percent of the Liquidity Event Per Share Price. Accordingly, if for example, the Initial Public Offering Price in connection with an IPO consummated by the Company is US$5.00 per share, then and in such event (a) the Per Share Purchase Price shall be reduced to US$4.00 per Share and (b) the number of Shares, including the Make-Whole Shares, to be owned by the Subscriber in the Company, or the Subscriber’s pro-rata portion of common stock of Pubco or the Acquiror, as applicable, or any entitlement to other consideration issued by Pubco or the Acquiror based on the Liquidity Event Per Share Price, shall be calculated on dividing the Subscription Amount paid by the Subscriber by US$4.00.
1.6 All net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this Offering shall be used by the Company (a) first to pay a minimum of $2,500,000 representing an installment payment due September 30, 2016 under a $3,960,508 senior secured note of Mimio, LLC owed to Skyview Capital, LLC (the “Skyview Note”) that was guaranteed by the Company, and (b) next, as additional working capital for the Company, including reduction of certain indebtedness owed to vendors.

(c) the Subscriber and if applicable, the disclosed principal for whom the Subscriber is acting, understands that the Company is the seller of the Shares and that, for purposes of Regulation S, a “distributor” is any underwriter, dealer or other person who participates pursuant to a contractual arrangement in the distribution of securities sold in reliance on Regulation S and that an “affiliate” is any partner, officer, director or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person in question. Except as otherwise permitted by Regulation S, the Subscriber and if applicable, the disclosed principal for whom the Subscriber is acting, agrees that it will not, during a one-year (six months if the Company becomes a mandatory reporting issuer and has been such for at least 90 days) distribution compliance period, act as a distributor, either directly or through any affiliate, or sell, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey the Shares or underlying securities other than to a non-U.S. Person;

The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Shares for the Subscriber’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute an agreement by the Subscriber to hold the Shares for any particular length of time and the Company acknowledges that the Subscriber shall at all times retain the right to dispose of its property as it may determine in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law.

(b) If for any reason (other than a final non-appealable judgment finding any Indemnified Party liable for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Advisor on the other, but also the relative fault by the Company and the Indemnified Party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations.

ANTI-LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
The USA PATRIOT Act
The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.
To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.
What is money laundering?
Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.
How big is the problem and why is it important?
The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.
What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?
Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.
ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING INFORMATION FORM
The following is required in accordance with the AML provision of the USA PATRIOT ACT.
